Abstract
Microcontroller. This description relates to a microcontroller (200) comprising a memory (152); an error correction code calculation block (142) for this memory; a first register (SBS_CFGR2); and a first bit (202) which, when it has a first value and the first register (SBS_CFGR2) contains a second value (ECCL=1), prevents modification of the contents of the first register (SBS_CFGR2) until a given sequence is written to a second register (SBS_KEYR) of the microcontroller (200).

Claims
14. Microcontroller according to any one of claims 1 to 13, wherein said sequence corresponds to the writing of two keys in the second register (SBS_KEYR); or wherein the first register (SBS_CFGR2) includes said first bit; or wherein said memory (152) is a RAM-type memory.
15. A method of operating a microcontroller according to any one of claims 1 to 14, wherein, when the first bit is set to the first value and the first register (SBS_CFGR2) includes the second value (ECCL=1), this results in the prohibition of modifying the contents of the first register (SBS_CFGR2) until the given sequence is written to the second register (SBS_KEYR) of the microcontroller (200).
